   I want to Update new Wordpress 2.7.1.
   When I click op Please Update Now, I saw this
   Important: before upgrading, please backup your database and files.

   How can I backup? And I am afraid that problem coming

   easiest way is with a plugin

   you can do regular schedules and even have the db back up emailed to you

   Which one the best i choose?

   I would exclude both...and download to your computer.

   However, do realize this only backs up your database. The upgrade will overwrite ALL of the default source code...this is not a problem if you haven't edited any of the default code, but if you have, then you may want to take a back-up of that as well. Here is a video to show you how to do a complete back-up before upgrading along with a few other tips before pressing the upgrade link.

   Thanks Figaro for sharing the video

   I would like to try it, but I hear that you said in your video about Cpanel

   What is that?

   If you don't have Cpanel on your hosting account, just use your FTP client to do the file transfer part.
